View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
I think it’s mostly from when divorce was looked down upon so people would get married fast, realize they’re incompatible, and then be stuck with each other. Then their kids see they don’t like each other and then carry over the ‘marriage is prison’ mentality.

Yeah usually people will rush things and grow apart. They've built equity and a family together. So whilst they don't like their SO they do love them. In a way they don't want them to go but aren't completely happy. The wife might feel the same.
